Thanks jds63. I finally managed to track down a review of the OC version I have of the Dual-x R9280X 3GB and I see now why it's so hard to find it - it is apparently now off the radar.

Hmmmm.

DCS is the flight simulator I'm currently having a crack at.

It's a chicken and egg situation, isn't it?

By the by, tried to give you a thumbs up for the post but apparently I can't give to the same person in succession, so have a cake instead - .

Yes you can not rep twice in such a close amount of time to the same person, do not worry your thanks are enough for me it is my pleasure to help.

Those Radeon 280 X like i said are all about the same except for some specs as mentioned in my last post, it is a decent Graphics card.
Not into Flight Simulators, more into Open world first and third person adventure games and first and third person shooters mostly.

High quality graphics at a decent refresh rate requires both Memory and a LOT of processing power so for really good performance you should use a dedicate Graphics GPU card which can offload a lot of the graphics processing away from the main mobo and bus.

For normal office type stuff (excluding gaming / video editing / photoshop / CAD etc) most computers will drive a reasonable sized monitor at full HD 1080p using the standard built in Video integrated into the MOBO.

For driving a 4K large size monitor (or even a load of monitors say 3 or 4) you really must have a separate graphics card (or even two of them).

I just feel I would like to get a more immersive experience from my set-up. I have possibly approaching £1,000 available now and maybe a tad extra later, but am thoroughly confused as to what to do first.

My set up is as per the system specs posted in my profile.

I thought my first purchase could be say the Samsung 34" curved monitor, followed by an up-grading of the Graphics card if needed --OR I could go the reverse route and get a more powerful Graphics Card and then a screen to go with it. But I keep wondering if no matter which choice I make I may be opening a can of worms and finding each step I take only causes another one.

I don't want a triple screen set-up - just a bigger screen and more sharp, if possible. Am I better to simply build another (my second) system... or can I strengthen the one I have?

Any help is welcomed and I do hope you allow for my technical naivety. I have been gaming since 1995 - having started with Fade to Black!!!
